Hi everyone,

On the official Flask support we can see listed under the Self-hosted options the ~following:

Standalone WSGI Containers
- Gunicorn
- uWSGI
- Gevent
- Twisted Web
- Proxy Setups

uWSGI

mod_wsgi (Apache)

FastCGI

CGI

and here they talk about : Waitress


I have no idea which one to choose ? what are the Cons & Pro..

Is the embedded flask server is not enough for a little application ?

Thanks

No,it's a development server so can do all development local to a finish app,if shall only run local can use it,
when finish and/if want to share with the world then need a production server.
I have used before Gunicorn in combo with Nginx,which is good combination,see that there is no Apache usage as Nginx is easier/ better.

Digital Ocean guides are good and updatet can be applied elsewhere even if not use DO.

Heroku is another Python friendly host.
Heroku makes it easy to deploy and scale Python apps

An other way is to use a serverless compute service like AWS Lambda
